I would like to express my sincere thanks to Israel for remembering World Poet Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore on his 159th birthday, 25th of Baishakh.

Thank you, #Israel@netanyahu, for honouring, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, one of the greatest intellectuals of the world of all time. Tagore is to India what the great sage Haim Nachman Bialik is to Israel.

A balcony concert by the duo Nandy Sisters – Antara and Ankita – in the honour of Rabindranath Tagore went viral on the Internet. They sang two of Tagore’s classics – Mamo Chitte and Amaar Bela Je Jaye, on their Ukulele.

As for the West Bengal government’s official event at Rabindra Sadan, it was cancelled this year because of the novel coronavirus crisis. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee paid her tribute at Rabindra Sadan located inside the Nandan complex.

Every year, Rabindra Jayanti is celebrated on the 25th day of the Bengali month of Boishakh. Rabindranath Tagore was born on this particular day in 1268 of the Bengali calendar.
